Читать книгу Blooming Birth: How to get the pregnancy and birth you want - Lucy Atkins - Страница 16

Much of this kind of paranoia boils down to the basic belief that pregnancy (and by implication birth) is both scary and dangerous. From TV, film, newspapers and magazines, you’ll absorb frightening images and stories of pregnancies that go disastrously wrong. This makes great TV and copy, but serious, life-threatening pregnancy complications are rare (how do you think we all got here?). Your ‘pregnancy/birth is unsafe’ mindset is not going to help you when you are in labour. For the vast majority of us pregnancy and birth are healthy, normal events. They’re neither threatening nor perilous.
